Patent EP-1073025-A2 (EP)
Inventor: LOWERY TED B
IPC: G06Q20/00
Filed: 2000-07-27
Abstract: A smart card terminal  (910, 920, 930, 940)  receives a
first smart card and deducts value from the smart card. The
value to be deducted is determined by a smart card holder
and is relayed to a smart card terminal  (910, 920, 930, 940) 
via a user interface on the smart card terminal. If a single
slot smart card terminal is utilized for a transfer between
smart cards, then the terminal deducts the value from the
first smart card that is then removed from the slot. The
transaction is completed when a second smart card is
inserted into the slot and the value deducted from the first
card is written onto the second card. If a multiple slot
smart card terminal is utilized then the first smart card is
inserted into a first slot and the second smart card is
inserted into a second slot. A user interface guides the
smart card holder(s) through the process of deducting value
from the first smart card and writing it onto the second
smart card. Long distance or remote transfers of value
between smart cards can also be performed. A remote
transfer implies two smart card terminals communicating with
one another. Such communication can be telephone based or
computer based and can utilize telephone networks  950  or
computer data networks  960 . Smart card transfers can also
be effected in a non-real-time basis meaning a first smart
card can have value deducted and stored in a data network
smart card server  970  for later retrieval by a second smart
card.

Title: Anchor plates
Inventor: LINK ROGER VERNON RUFUS
IPC: E04D5/14
Filed: 2000-08-14
Abstract: An anchor plate 16 for securing a membrane to a sub-structure 6, 8
such as a roof, tunnel, tank etc. The plate 16 has an elevated bonding
platform 13 and a enlarged central countersink 15, sufficiently deep to
accommodate the head 30 of a screw 7, without said head 30 protruding
above the top profile 13 of the anchor plate 16 when the screw 7 secures
the plate 16 to the underlying substructure 6, 8. The height difference
between the bonding platform 13 and the base 31 of the countersink 15
together with the fact that the countersink area 15 is wider than the head
30 of the screw 7 ensures that when the screw 7 is fastened the bonding
platform 13 does not flex. The bonding platform 13 carries a heat activated
adhesive which is inductively heated to secure an overlying membrane 3 to
the substructure 6, 8.

Abstract: An automatic transmission formed so that the axial
displacement of a clutch drum (50) is restricted without causing an
increase in the manufacturing cost and number of man-hour. A
first spline (45) is formed on an inner circumferential surface of
a carrier of first planetary gear mechanism, and a second spline (75)

its set position toward an intermediate partition wall by a
predetermined amount, an inclined surface of the cut rising
portion of the second spline on the hub portion engages a
radially inner corner edge portion of the carrier.
